I'm in a desperate situation and am trying to get someone at short notice, was considering a recommendation of a recommendation. Although he seemed knowledgeable, he only has a 1 month prescence on a fbook page. Roof is leaking though and the next tradesman is going to take 1 month longer! I...

Right, so at parents house we have these annoying ceiling lights that die allll the time! Have heard that with this type of light there can be a common problem. I wonder if in some cases like ours there is an underlying electrical problem. Anyway a few months back I found out that they had all...

So I now have water ingress exactly under the photo's displayed boundary in the attic. Looks like their new tiles are underneath mine. Both viccy properties. Should I have posted this in the buildings regulations forum? An unusual thing to note is that this inherited proeprty has been empty...

Yeah, the decorator didnt put any protection down when he was ripping the paper off, and then the plasterer made a bit of a mess too somehow! I already had the damn thing cleaned few weeks back, Things have been organized badly hahaha! Would like to try and deal with it myself this time as low...

I failed spectacularly here as a noob trying to just paint over crappy looking parts on the first photo, should I just scrape all the old crap of with my painter's tool? For the second photo can I just use caulk and paint over? WIll be the last stuff to do. Thanks for all the help :)

I cant take the top off, who the hell designed this? Just the panel with the handle comes off, but that will just yank the handle off? Is this something as a non-plumber I have any hope of doing? The overflow is constantly dripping just outside, so I wanted to look at the toilet as it's likely...

Its misaligned here as can be seen by the path of water soaked into the lime. I wont trust anything the roofer says to me, so needed to clarify here, thankyou. I mean he wouldn't admit to any problem when I first showed him photos, not until I said I would go to a surveyor. What should be done...

I thought id at least try and see how it looks , if is crap ill strip it. Thanks!

So my renderers broke all the coping stones facing the wall they worked on, I dont have the energy left to even try to make them replace it tbh. I think that section of the garden would look Ok anyway without coping stones, except the cement on top of the little walls is ugly as fock. I guess...

Am going to rent a house soon for my first time. just trying to take preventative measures. Perhaps nothing can be done here, but thanks for reading. :)

Thanks, it's perhaps hard to see by the photo!

Apologies I have no idea what to even call this part of the.. thing.. After the outside was rendered this appeared. I will likely have to just ignore it, low on time and money now , but still hoping to rent.

Im honestly starting to think that both neighbours for the property concerned are doing everything they can to prevent me from letting it out after getting used to having an empty house for so long. Just want to protect myself, I dont trust them at all. Thanks.

Unfortunately it was done in an emergency in February, not the best of time for cement to set, we didnt have any freezing tempteratures though luckily. I know its not fully water proof and was hoping to wait 8 weeks until I paint it, but if it it rains a lot during that period is there any...

I was explicitly told not to walk on it for a couple days. Unfortunately in deep thought I caught myself pacing on it and there was a slight wobble and now theres a crack in the cement around one of the corners of the slabs. Erm I cant see in the photo but I saw it clearly in person. ANyway did...

I dont know what to search or ask for. Need to replace the torn part asap though. So is it a thingy or does it have an official name, thanks.

I need to buy some more asap and dont know what to search/ask for Border of wooden flooring and skirting board. Think the carpenter wanted to use it to bridge the cupboard's gap too here. Thankyou.

Yes I'm that much of a noob. I need to replace this outdoor light. Thankyou

I mean in terms of if I ever wanted to sell the property and it's value. Sure not conclusive proof , but it must help!
